LAWRENCE, Kan. --- The Chattanooga Mocs went toe-to-toe
with No. 7 Kansas losing 69-55 Thursday night in Allen Fieldhouse. The loss
drops Chattanooga to 1-1 on the season, while the Jayhawks improve to 2-1.

It was the Farad Cobb (West Palm Beach, Fla.) show as the
freshman wowed the crowd reminding fans and media around the historic barn of a
performance by former Texas great Kevin Durant raining threes, Cobb set a UTC
freshman record with seven three-pointers made, six in leading his squad to a
halftime lead.

Ben McLemore scored a game-high 25 points for the
Jayhawks. Elijah Johnson chipped in 18 points and four assists, while Jeff
Withey posted a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds.

The first half belonged to the Mocs. They trailed 2-0
before scoring the next seven points to start the pendulum swing firmly in
their favor. It was 12-9 UTC when Cobb took over. He hit six of his seven treys
pushing the Mocs to a 12-points lead, 36-24, at 1:49. Three of his treys forced
30-second timeouts from the KU bench as it used all four 30's in the first 20
minutes of the game.

Cobb scored 18 points in 10 first-half minutes. His
played keyed a 36-28 UTC lead at the break.

The Mocs kept up the pressure to start the second stanza.
Z. Mason (Nashville, Tenn.) got it back to a 12-point lead, 42-30, with a
high-arcing three-pointer. Unfortunately, KU limited UTC without a field goal
over the next 12-and-a-half minutes when Cobb drilled his seventh three with
5:30 to play. It prompted a 27-7 run giving the Jayhawks a 57-49 lead.

That was as close as Chattanooga would get. McLemore and
Johnson scored 13 apiece to lead the Jayhawks to a come-from-behind victory,

Mason had 13 points, five rebounds and two blocks for
UTC. Drazen Zlovaric (Novi Sad, Serbia) chipped in 10 points of his own.
